Rash around my penis

For over a year I been with a rash that is located on the left part and right part of my penis. This rash forms a substance every time.  But it seems that my belly button has something to do with it because I keep smelling the same subtance coming out of there.

You don't mention if you're circumcised.  There's a material called smegma which is secreted by glands in the foreskin, which produces a pungent smell.  Perhpas you have some irritation there as well.  As far as the belly button, you can get a similar smell when secretions collect there.  Clean well and don't worry.  As for the rash, show your doctor next time you go.

Best.
